First Day of School


Today was the last first day of school I will ever have. (~tear~)

It was a long and grueling day. It didn't help that I only got four-to-five hours of sleep (I was restless). I had five classes back to back from 9:30 to 4:00...so crazy...I get only 15 minutes in between each class which is JUST enough time to get to your next class. I thought I wasn't going to make it but fortunately I have a lot of classes with my friends and I even met some new ones. It was good seeing old and new faces. Meeting new teachers is always interesting because you get a feel of how the semester is going to progress and I think all my professors are really chill and interesting.

I am not looking forward to paying for all these books. I'm about to hit up the local library and see what I can find because I am not paying hundreds of dollars this year>>>>I REFUSE>>>>its alll a marketing ploy for them (the school)>>>>They change the textbooks every year>>>>maybe changing one or two things just so you HAVE to buy their version and NYU has a habit of selling books you cant find anywhere else or one that a professor wrote. its really depressing how much money they scrounge from us; not to mention school supplies at our bookstore is crazy expensive (HELLO Staples). As a freshman I made the mistake of buying everything on campus...yes I was one of the naive ones. I didn't know about half.com or scanning books and then returning them (so ghetto but worth it). Now I just borrow from a friend or DL the book online ( i know how bad that sounds but its so necessary).

My schedule is crazy but I need to make it work. I have an internship and a job on the weekends and I am also trying to get a second job. Sounds like a lot right?!?! well I know it is but hey I need to grind and hustle this semester to get where I need to go. Plus, I like to keep myself busy.

How was everyone's first day?!?!
